Note Relating to Cather
"For the most part [mystery stories] are read and thrown aside and forgotten as quickly as a puzzle that is solved, for they contain none of the elements of lasting satisfaction. Of course there are notable exceptions. In the first place there is Dickens' Mystery of Edwin Drood, which is a classic instance that that sort of thing can be done well."
